Happy Valentines’ Day to You! (Unless You’re a Montreal Fan, Then Just Try to Look Happy…)

Hi everyone! Well, it’s Valentines’, Day, and like most Valentines’ Days in recent years the Habs are out of the playoff race, or at least, well on their way to the Eastern Conference’s “Second Division”, if you know what I mean. Luckily for me, the Leafs are doing their best to join the Canadiens, not to mention my local Senators, on the golf course. Seriously, with that much talent, how are the Leafs just hanging on to the last playoff position? Columbus loses Panarin, Duchene, Dzingel, and Bobrovsky, and they are actually three points ahead of Toronto in the standings.

Anyway, with this Montreal playoff black hole that is about to envelop my home for the third year in a row, it got me thinking about how tough it must have been to be a Seals fan. They actually missed the playoffs eight years in a row before their miserable streak was ended by a merger with the Minnesota North Stars. By January, let alone February, the Seals were almost always miles out of a playoff spot, and when they took on said North Stars February 26, 1975, that was the case once again. Check out the latest addition to the articles section to find undoubtedly the longest piece we’ve ever featured here. In addition to an article detailing the Seals 3-1 loss, we’ve also included a three-page news release from the Seals themselves to provide a little insight into what was transpiring in the days before the game. So, head on over to the articles section to read the piece.
